Abstract: A touch sensor may include a substrate, a drive electrode on the substrate, a sense electrode on the substrate, and a deformable snap member disposed over the drive electrode and the sense electrode. The deformable snap member may include a deflectable metal material. When the metal material flexes from a resting position, a change in capacitance between the drive electrode and the sense electrode may be detectable.

Abstract: A system for detecting a change in a battery cell may include instructions executable by a processor to determine a baseline profile of a battery cell with a capacitance sensor, detect a changed profile from the baseline profile with the capacitance sensor, match the changed profile with a stored profile where the stored profile is associated with a condition, and classify the battery cell as having the condition associated with the stored profile.

Abstract: A system and method for manufacturing a planar capacitive touch sensor that can be folded over a three-dimensional object that does not require substantial modification to function, wherein columns and rows of capacitive measurement nodes follow substantially linear designs, and wherein the algorithms used for detection and tracking objects are substantially the same as for a planar touch sensor design.
